Japanese automakers Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi said Thursday they are ending talks on business integration. Nissan Chief Executive Makoto Uchida said the talks had changed focus from setting up a joint holding company to making Nissan into a subsidiary of Honda. The intent was to join forces to win in the global competition, but this was not going to realise Nissan's potential, so I could not accept it, he told reporters. He said that Nissan was going to aim for a turnaround without Honda instead. Honda Chief Executive Toshihiro Mibe said in a separate news conference that Honda had suggested a stock swap to speed up decision-making. I am really disappointed, Mibe told reporters. I felt the potential was great, but I also knew actions that would bring pain were necessary to realise that." The automakers agreed to end their agreement on considering a structure for a collaboration, a joint statement said. The decision was passed by board meetings at each of the companies. Honda M
